Shame and regret only strengthened in untold time since then. And yet, with heroes drawn from time future and past did she see hope, a chance that he would be freed. That they would all be freed. To void, then, would they all be cast? Or would suffering be buried at last?

She walks onward. Her feet, phantasmal they may be, take their first steps.]
